If You Feel Like a Tea "Party Pooper" .... then do THIS!

This cute lil' guy Jonah (the son of my friend Amanda) had his own tea party, right at home! What a great smile, and an undeniably adorable little guy. What kind of Congressman could open a letter with this picture in it and not pay attention??

If anyone feels like they missed out by not being able to go to their local Tea Party...take heart! You can still make a difference! (Yesterday was JUST the beginning, and there will be plenty more opportunities!)

Get your cute lil' chickens out (or even your not-so-little kids, or the whole family out in the front yard and have a neighbor take your photo) and make them a sign...like my friend Amanda did. Take a photo ...after all this is our children's debt, as well as our own.

Then get the photos printed up at home on your printer on regular paper and send your own typed message with it: whatever you would like to say to these representatives who aren't listening to us, and make copies to send by mail, fax, or email to:

Your local or state representativesYour governorYour Congressional representativesYour PresidentYour local news mediaYour national news media (Treat it as if it were a press release!)

Tell them you wanted to be at a Tea Party but you weren't able to make it because you work or have little ones but that you're protesting straight to them.

Finding the addresses to mail or fax or email them with a copy of a teabag, and doing so is as easy as can be with a search engine...and I have an email address to Congress (click over on my sidebar).

Don't feel bad for not going, it was a weekday, (I think that all future ones should be held on weekends) and it's hard to be in large crowds with little kids....

It's nice to know that there is something moms with young families, or families or individuals that must work can DO!

Remember: not all patriots could make it to Boston or Philadelphia.....but they did anything they could do, and as history shows us, it all helps!

Hi Joni! I am in process of editing my photos. I was SHOCKED to see 400 + at our rally in lil' old Kzoo. But I felt SO encouraged by the effort people put into it!

Did anyone talk about getting rid of the gross receipt tax (I think that's what it's called) in MI? We had Fulton Sheen talking about that at ours... man, MI taxes the small businessman to the HILT. Anyway, love your pics! Too bad we weren't at the same party, though. Next time maybe... :)

Welcome To the Farmhouse

Hi, I'm Joni!I'm a Michigan mom and am richin all the ways that count.... live a simple life in the country, have a family that I love and they love me, I go to bed at night on sheets that have been dried in the sun and kissed by the wind, eat food from my garden and find joy in simple pleasures and a few hobbies, can pet and love and take care of our animals, and perhaps most of all: I have learned in my life to enjoy hard work. I can't ask for anything more and am blessed.

Goin' Home

Goin' home--what a lovelier word

Ever--ever--could be heard,

Home to warmth and firelight,

Little rooms that shine at night,

Back to the comfort of old things,

A kitchen where a kettle sings.

Goin' home--with heart aglow.

Down the old road white with snow.

There a lighted window gleams.

Sending out its golden beams

Like a lighthouse tall and white,

Shining out against the night.

Goin' home--what lovelier word

Ever--ever--has been heard?
